Removal behavior: Same folder structure in Recycle Bin #5677

Open darkdragon-001 opened 4 years ago

darkdragon-001 commented 4 years ago

Summary

Please add an option to create the same folder structure in recycle bin for deleted entries.

Examples

Deleting entry a / b / c should create Recycle Bin / a / b / c

Context

I would like to keep deleted entries in Recycle Bin for some time (in case I need them but exclude them from everything else). With a lot of entries in there, it would be really helpful to maintain the same structure.

droidmonkey commented 4 years ago

This is a decent idea, I also want to implement a "Restore" context menu option for recycled entries that would put them back where they came from. Retaining the folder structure actually makes that easier (don't have to store the original structure in some custom data section).

darkdragon-001 commented 4 years ago

@droidmonkey This sounds cool! If you create a custom data section, consider adding a deleted timestamp as well.

darkdragon-001 commented 4 years ago

Also an action to delete all expired items would be nice.

droidmonkey commented 4 years ago

We have a custom data section already part of KDBX 4. Good idea on a Recycled timestamp. Deleted has a specific meaning in the database structure.

@droidmonkey Any news here? Is there a PR to track or similar? I was planning on cleaning up my database over the holidays but postponed it until this feature is implement to save me a lot of work...

droidmonkey commented 3 years ago

I have no plans to work on this at this time.

Maybe Santa will come, but it won't be in a release, it'll be in a snapshot or branch
